DATPROF Valuable Features

Romil Kapadia - PeerSpot reviewer
Product Owner at ABN AMRO Bank N.V.

Its ease of use is valuable. It's pretty straightforward. With minimal training or with minimal guidance, it can be used. We also like the features related to the integration and the usage over the web. We can also use our own customized scripts and conditions. These are the exciting features of the tool.

Within the bank, we have a strategy called API First, and it was good to see that they have the possibilities to use APIs to mask data in bulk and generate data in bulk or in a few fields.

The data scrambling, the masking, is the most valuable feature. That is how we protect our personal and sensitive information. That is very important for Heineken, given that we work in global scenarios with a lot of personal information and business-sensitive information. This feature is particularly helpful.

It is a very intelligent solution when it comes to identifying the dependencies and connections and it is easily scalable.

It allows a type of self-service where we are not dependent on the supplier to do the work. Our team members can do things themselves.

It is also extremely important that DATPROF's masking for non-SAP databases also integrates with SAP TDM, out-of-the-box. We have operations in more than 100 countries and a majority of those operations use SAP applications. But some of our very important regions, such as the Americas and Asia-Pacific, are using Microsoft Dynamics NAV and Oracle as their core ERPs. That means we have some customers who are in both SAP and non-SAP. When we do scrambling for different applications, it is extremely important that DATPROF and the SAP applications talk to each other and synchronize.

Otherwise, for example, if the name Mano is changed to Frank in an SAP system, but the same Mano is changed to Albert in a non-SAP system, that means Mano has two names in two different systems. That means that identity is lost, from a name perspective.

It is also quite efficient, as we are doing data refreshes regularly.

We can create synthetic test data for our different development teams without needing production data, which is an excellent capability.

The UI is excellent, and it's one of the main selling points for us. It's straightforward, so the threshold for use by our staff is relatively low, meaning all kinds of testers and developers can use this product very easily. 

The testing management provided by DATPROF is very important, as we deliver key performance indicators to the politicians in The Hague. The information we provide has to be high quality, and we can expect that quality using this tool.

The most valuable feature is that it's easy to use. We were using it for Microsoft Dynamics Navision and at a later point in time we had to use it for JD Edwards but we didn't have to go to any other solution. We were able to quickly port a JD Edwards application into the DATPROF solution and we were able to scramble the data in that application. It's a single tool that helps us to do that across applications.

And the masking templates are reusable. Microsoft Dynamics Navision has been implemented in at least 19 different operating companies, within our company. It goes into each of the tenants and then it runs it. Without this feature, we would be spending quite a lot of time customizing it individually at each location. The first time you set it up, it takes a lot of time. But if we have one template that can be reused, it becomes fairly simple for us to quickly adapt it.

As we speak, we are doing a scrambling setup for one of our large applications. It doesn't take much time. Once you configure it, it becomes a routine. You just press the button and it takes care of it.

There is an integration with a product called EPI-USE Labs Data Secure. To integrate these two, we have another product called Symphony, which orchestrates the data masking between SAP and non-SAP applications. SAP masks the data and then Symphony picks it up. Symphony triggers the masking in EPI-USE Labs Data Secure and it takes the masked data reference and passes it onto DATPROF. DATPROF picks up the baton and runs the scrambling using the same ruleset. I have not seen any other solution that makes it easier for scrambling between SAP and non-SAP applications. This is definitely important. Our testers would go crazy if the data in our SAP application and our non-SAP applications looked different.

In addition to the professional collaboration with a Datprof consultant, in which necessary adjustments in the software are always smoothly implemented by Datprof, I really appreciate the user-friendly interface for subsetting and anonymization.

I am very impressed with the capabilities of the software. It is able to generate a model of the database even when our supplier did not want to release the data model. The tooling provides additional insight into how our package works.

I also think the possibility to generate synthetic test data through functions is a nice addition since the start of our collaboration.

Test Consultant at a tech company with 51-200 employees

The data model intelligence provided by DATPROF gave us a head start in analyzing the needed test data. With basic database knowledge, we were able to create database templates that will filter out the required test data.

The creation of these templates may also be accomplished by hiring DATPROF consultants. We choose to do it ourselves so that we would be able to maintain the knowledge afterward. 

The data modeling software gave additional insights for debugging in the case of circular foreign keys.

The privacy module has not been used by us, but we are keeping this option in mind.

The most valuable feature of DATPROF Privacy for us is the possibility to mask sensitive test and development data on different kinds of databases. Furthermore, the tool comes with different useful masking functions. It is possible to mask deterministic and it is possible to add your own functions. The tool has an intuitive interface and customer support is fast and efficient.
